"(Early) language intervention is not
the application of strictly prescribed formulae or methods as
such. It is a parametric, responsive, strategic and
tactical social-communication based activity. It is a
process of activity-based naturalistic focused stimulation --
focusing on the situation/moment at-hand, the processes of
social interaction, communication, cognition, and language
vis-à-vis various receptive and expressive
modalities; focusing on the child's arousal,
orientation, engagement, attention, interests, motivations;
focusing on the child's zone of proximal development with
appropriate antecedent and contingent events, and scaffolded
elicitation of appropriate communication for the end goal of
communication. It should be like cotton -- 'part
of the fabric of the day'." (Casby, n.d.).
